Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 471 New Fishing Tackle
"Fuck, that's so good."

"Haha, I'm so awesome." Xu Song proudly picked up the fish for everyone to see, and Erhu took a photo at the right time.

"sharp."

"This is so big, it will take several days to eat."

The fish bones stand up, and the majestic dorsal fin is extremely intimidating and scary to look at.

"Be careful not to get pricked. It will hurt like hell."

Xu Song carefully placed the fish into the cabin and covered it to prevent it from escaping.

Dong Ge said sourly, "It's this big, the meat is tough, smaller ones are better."

"Haha, I'm happy to eat big ones, even pickled salted fish when I go back home."

Everyone laughed and joked about it, and were really envious.

Qin Dahe has also caught such a big mandarin fish. It is really strong.

The price is also cheap. Wild mandarin fish that normally sells for nearly 30 yuan per catty can only be sold for 17 or 18 yuan when it weighs more than 10 catties, but the meat is not tasty.

Of course, it’s really fun to catch them.

"If we keep looking, we'll always be able to catch something big."

After rowing forward for a distance, everyone cast their rods again and found another nest.

This is a natural fish breeding reservoir with stocking, and the fish density is quite high. By six o'clock, there were already seventeen mandarin fish weighing over a kilogram on the boat.

The little mandarin fish were released and will be eaten when they grow up.

The sun was half setting, and taking advantage of the afterglow, Qin Dahe started the diesel engine and drove towards the management office dock.

At this time, the wind started to blow.

After getting ashore, everyone divided the fish first. The three brothers only took two mandarin fish to be processed at the food stall, and the rest were divided among Dong Ge and his friends.

"Teacher Dahe, when will you come to Wuhan next time?"

"I don't know, maybe I can come and play next year."

"Let's drink together then."

"Haha, okay, I will definitely call you when I get to Wuhan." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

As fishing buddies, they often chat online, and their interactions are extremely pure.

When I was fishing for silver carp and bighead carp a few days ago, Dong Ge and the others were there too.

Because Qin Dahe was there, netizens gave him face and gathered together every day to catch big fish. The happy atmosphere was really intoxicating.

"All good things must come to an end. See you in the arena."

"Haha, see you in the arena."

They were all free and easy people. After saying goodbye to each other, they drove away.

After getting in the car, Qin Dahe called his wife first.

Every evening there is a phone call without fail, and you can still hear the babbling of the two little ones.

"Yan'er, I have an order for Futong Fishing Gear in Jiangxi. Please make a note of it."

"I've got a pen and paper." Yanyan on the other end of the phone knew that something important was going on, so she stopped talking in a sweet way.

"Four hundred kilograms of silver and bighead carp bait, thirty kilograms of corn, thirty kilograms of sweet potato and corn, twenty bottles of small medicine, and fifty bags of commercial bait."

There's a lot of rambling to say, all about loose stuff. We called each other during the day today.

The purchase price for these small fishing tackle stores is still eight yuan, and they bear the shipping costs themselves.

The majority of bait sales now come from Hubei, Jiangsu and Shanghai. Other places are either economically underdeveloped or lack a good fishing atmosphere.

For example, Anhui, where his hometown is, has both.

There was originally an agent in Sichuan Province, but after a year, the sales were very small, so it was directly withdrawn.

I heard from Boss Wan that they are still practicing traditional fishing over there, and all the players in the competition use a seven-star float.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Dahe called Brother Feng again and asked him how he was doing driving a taxi in the city.

After learning that everything went smoothly and I got the license, I started trying to run on the familiar route.

"Brother Feng, are you used to living here?"

"It's pretty good, much more comfortable than the countryside. I live in the small room on the west side. What's wrong?" Brother Feng said nervously on the other end of the phone.

Such a nice house would cost at least a few hundred dollars a month to rent. Do you have to charge rent?

"Can you help me clean up the living room? I'll leave some goods there for transit later."

The large room on the east side is reserved for people to live in, so that anyone who goes to the city to spend the night will have a place to stay.

But now, as the frequency of sending out small goods increases, it is necessary to set up a transit warehouse in the city.

Father Qin can't carry much stuff in his Santana.

"Haha, that's easy."

"I'll have my dad buy some shelves tomorrow. Just help me set them up when you're free."

Hanwaer's house has quite a lot of space, which is more than enough to serve as a transfer station. In the future, some of the silver carp and bighead carp baits, fishing gear, and other things will be stored there.

If there is not enough space, just put up a tarpaulin in the yard. There is enough space anyway.

The three agents still ship in bulk, so the freight is lower.

When we got back to the hotel, it was already dark and the wind was getting stronger. It was probably going to rain.

After a quick shower, they went to eat first. The mandarin fish at the food stall had already been cooked.

"Brother Wan, you're here so early."

Inside the food stall's simple private room, Boss Wan was already waiting. Today was Qin Dahe's last day in Wuhan, and he had called him over specifically to have a drink together.

"Haha, you must have had a great time fishing these days. I see you posting photos on the forum every day."

Qin Dahe started passing out cigarettes with a smile and lit one for himself.

Leaning back comfortably in his chair, he said, "It's really fun to fish for the resources here."

At this time, the boss started serving dishes and brought two boxes of beer.

Don’t go online at night. Have a good drink and take a nap before going home.

"You go first, I'll drink it." After finishing a cigarette, he was the first to raise his glass.

"I'll definitely drink the beer, hehe." Erhu drank it all in one gulp.

This time he went out to relax a bit and also took a look at life in a big city.

After two bites of food, another round began.

"Let's all get rich together and try to buy a car next year."

"cheers."

After three consecutive cups, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Brother Wan, how is business these days?" Qin Dahe asked with concern.

"It's awesome. We sold more than 2,000 kilograms in two days." He had a relaxed smile on his face.

With 10,000 kilograms of inventory weighing on us, the pressure on my heart is quite great. This big drop in prices has indeed ushered in a peak in sales.

However, many of them are wholesaled from fishing tackle stores, and we have to wait and see to know the specific effects.

"That's good. The real thing is that we make money together." After taking a bite of the mandarin fish, the taste was amazing.

Finish one bottle of beer and open another. It’s hard to get drunk with this stuff anyway.

"Brother Wan, I'm going to get some fishing gear next. Please help me sell some and pay attention to the feedback from anglers."

"I know, it's the fishing platform, the trestle and other things, right?" Boss Wan nodded.

He is now the provincial agent of HUB and is also responsible for part of the fishing gear operations.

"Well, there's also the fishing box. I have to wait and see if the manufacturer can make it to my liking." Qin Dahe sighed.

It’s a bit easy to make money from machining nowadays, but the fees are so expensive.

The same goes for luggage factories. If you go to customize a fishing box, the mold-making fee alone is as high as 20,000 yuan.

He planned to go to Shanghai to talk to Mr. Wu and see if he could get a cheaper price because they were from the same hometown.

Mr. Wu is the boss of the feed factory on Tongjiang Avenue last year, and he was thinking of poaching him to work.

Qin Dahe learned that his machine processing factory does a lot of different things, and also has an injection molding factory and a luggage factory, which can be said to be a multi-industry cluster.

"Some equipment has never been sold before, so we first give it to customers who frequently buy bait," Qin Dahe said with a smile. "For example, if someone buys 200 kilograms of bait and buys a -yuan fishing box, we'll give it to them for free."

"All the things given away in the early stage are mine."

"The fishing box is so expensive?" Boss Wan said with a frown. It's more expensive than the fishing rod.

"Haha, this thing needs a support and a lot of decorations. It also needs to be thermally insulated and waterproof. The requirements are very high."

There are also bait trays, bait basins, and so on, a series of things need to be prepared.

He outsourced everything and placed orders directly with the factories.

When sales are low in the early stages, this method is the most cost-effective. It would be a loss to work hard to get the machines and raw materials yourself.

Once I have my own factory established, it won’t be difficult to add a production line.

After finishing two boxes of beer, it was already half past eight and everyone's faces were drunk.

The box was filled with smoke, and four people were smoking cigarettes fiercely.

"Boss, pay the bill."

"Boss Qin, a total of one hundred and thirty-five."

Boss Wan still wanted to pay the bill, so he asked Hanwaer to hold the man down before he paid.

"Haha, just run your business well and sell the goods to me, and we can all get rich together."

"Okay." Boss Wan said excitedly.

With another batch of fishing gear given away for free, there is no need to worry about sales in May and June.

"Is your home far away? Do you want me to find someone to take you there?" Qin Dahe stood up and walked a little unsteadily, but he didn't care.

The hotel is just opposite, a few steps away.

"No, my aunt owns the hotel, and my house is just across the alley."

"Okay, then I won't send you off."

The silly kid didn't drink much, so he supported Qin Dahe a little.

The lights in the hotel were still on. Although it was windy, Wuhan was still a brightly lit city at night.

The streets became even more lively.

After staggering into the hotel, Qin Dahe paused for a moment and paid the room fee.

We are all acquaintances anyway, so we can just get up and leave tomorrow morning.

It didn't cost much on this trip, at most I lost two thousand yuan.

One reason is to pay Erhu and Hanwa their salaries, and the other reason is that they sell cigarettes and refuel a lot, so the Land Cruiser burns up fuel very quickly.

I went upstairs, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep immediately.
